Former Undersecretary of Defense calls for U.S. to prevent Turkish invasion in Iraq

In a recent Financial Times article, former U.S. Undersecretary of Defense Dov Zakheim campaigned for greater U.S. troop deployment in Iraq, the Zaman Daily Newspaper reported. Recognizing that the United States government is currently reconsidering their strategy in Iraq, Zakheim argued that troops are necessary to maintain stability in the region. Not only would these troops help to prevent terrorist infiltration into neighboring nations, but additional troops would also circumvent potential actions that could lead to a Turkish invasion into the northern region.
